Marlene and the Machine

Tonight, experimental theater group The Bearded Ladies present Marlene and The Machine, a dark, comic cabaret that “blurs the lines between human, music and machine.” The show combines off-kilter renditions of the music of Marlene Dietrich and Lotte Lenya. The visuals nod to German Expressionism with a lobby transformed into a dark, atonal cityscape that puts the audience smack dab in the middle of industrial macabre. Expect madness, insanity and betrayal—and expect it in drag. -Abigail Bruley
